Why hire a birth doula?
As your birth doula, Alyssa...
💜 Supports women's physiological response in preparation for birth
💜 Assesses for clients body alignment and suggests movements or exercises to prepare for labor and birth
💜 Recommends nutrition, movements or exercises for common pregnancy complaints
💜 Facilitates a mindful acceptance of discomfort and the unknown
💜 Helps you learn and work through your fears about birth or postpartum
💜 Builds a trustworthy support team
💜 Decompress, process, and heal from birth
According to the American Pregnancy Association, having a doula during your birth decreases cesarean rate by 50%, the length of labor by 25%, the use of oxytocin by 40%, and requests for epidurals by 60%!
Having a non-clinical support person with you who is committed to knowing you over several prenatal visits and phone calls (or texts or FaceTime, etc.), what you value, why you choose the things that you choose, and your emotional and physical history will help you feel comfortable and empowered in your birthing environment.
We have an extensive knowledge base of information and skills to help reduce the perceived pain of labor (whether you choose pain medication or not) and positions and techniques to try when labor has stalled.
Birthers are less likely to request medical pain relief options or when that request is delayed, the risks of interventions are decreased or eliminated, thus improving birth outcomes.
